Description

Marshalls Garden broad bean 'The Sutton' is an RHS Award of Garden Merit variety that delivers tender, creamy-green pods from compact, bushy plants (35–45 cm tall), making it perfect for small or exposed plots. Sow under cloches as early as February for crops from May, or sow directly outdoors between February and May. For indoor sowing, plant one seed per pot about 5 cm deep in moist, free-draining compost and transplant when seedlings reach 10–15 cm, hardening off over 7–14 days. Space plants about 20 cm apart in rows 30 cm apart and grow in full sun in fertile, moist, well-drained soil (pH 6.5–7.5) enriched with compost or well-rotted manure. Harvest pods as they ripen from May to August and pick regularly to encourage continued production.

Product Care InstructionsA staple of the vegetable garden for centuries, broad beans are easy to grow and one of the first crops of the year to harvest. They grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the ground ahead by clearing weeds and stones, then dig in garden compost or well-rotted manure. Lining a shallow trench with newspaper can also help retain moisture. Indoor Sowing For an early start, sow indoors using deep pots or root trainers filled with moist, free-draining compost. Sow one seed per pot around 5cm deep and keep them in a cool, bright spot—broad beans don’t need high heat to germinate. This is ideal if outdoor conditions are too harsh early in the season. Planting Out Once Professional Grower Plugs reach 10–15cm tall, harden them off gradually over 7–14 days before transplanting. Place outside for a few hours each day, increasing exposure to wind and temperature. Transplant into beds or larger pots, spacing plants 20cm apart in rows 30cm apart. Outdoor Sowing Direct sowing is simple and effective. Sow seeds 5cm deep in well-prepared soil, keeping the ground moist as Professional Grower Plugs establish. Provide support for taller varieties to keep them upright. Harvesting Pick pods as soon as they ripen, and harvest regularly to encourage more pods. Frequent picking stimulates further flowering and extends your crop.
